The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of a recorder's sound. At the labium, the leaf of air produces the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely influential for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds.

Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones.
Windways are naturally complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
